Skip non-FSDG-compliant apps on Replicant during repo data parsing
Replicant is committed to follow the GNU Free System Distribution
Guidelines (FSDG)[1]. Apps with certain anti-feature flags in F-Droid
violate these guidelines and thus shouldn't be available in the
F-Droid client on Replicant[2].

Issue #564 discusses this, although only the case of having apps with
anti-features optionally filtered. To be compliant with the FSDG
guidelines, all violating apps must not be accessible and there
shouldn't be a setting to make them visible. Not all anti-features in
F-Droid violate the FSDG guidelines, so no need to filter all of them.

FAQ

  • Why does F-Droid require "Unknown Sources" to install apps by default?

Because a regular Android app cannot act as a package manager on its own. To do so, it would require system privileges (see below), similar to what Google Play does.

  • Can I avoid enabling "Unknown Sources" by installing F-Droid as a privileged system app?

This used to be the case, but no longer is. Now the Privileged Extension is the one that should be placed in the system. It can be bundled with a ROM or installed via a zip, or alternatively F-Droid can install it as a system app using root.
